Hi Damon, Robert and All, Assuming they are high output ones I found these are very good as E bike/trike batteries as very rugged. I got several 25vdc 12-14amphr batteries of them from some heart/lung machines and was very happy. Keep them out of sunlight as hurts the case. The secret is only charging to 95% drastically cuts water use, maintaining them to 1/month with an equalize charge of 110% every week or 2. They charge fast to 90%. Make sure they are under compression or they swell. They many times come in metal cases for that. On SAFTs they did take them at their Atlanta warehouse for recycling if you ship to them. Google for details. Jerry On Friday, November 2, 2018 02:41:34 PM EDT, Damon Henry via EV <ev@lists.evdl.org> wrote: Wow, at one time I would have drooled all over these. In fact I bought a couple hundred surpluss BB600 myself and used them in both my EVs. I'm afraid I am lithium spoiled now. The flooded NiCads took too much maintenance and were quite messy. Also, I learned not to put them in an aluminum box :)
Can you share details on the logistics of sending them to the recyclers? I still have some dead ones laying around I need to properly dispose of some day. thanks Damon ________________________________ From: EV <ev-boun...@lists.evdl.org> on behalf of ROBERT via EV <ev@lists.evdl.org> Sent: Thursday, November 1, 2018 2:14 PM To: ev@lists.evdl.org Cc: ROBERT Subject: [EVDL] NICAD Batteries I have approximately 1100 NiCad cells. I purchased them about 10 years ago as military surplus. They were used in helicopters. The specifications are: Saft Model No. KO 14KH-B-1. 11 Amp-Hrs. Size: 2.25" W X 5.25" H, and 1" D. If anyone needs these batteries and are willing to pay shipping, you can have them. If not, I am shipping them to the recyclers next week. In addition, I have the battery links. Specifications: 1.5" L X 0.5 " W. Ctr - Ctr hole spacing: 1" Holes dia: 3/16". The links are Ni plate Cu. If anyone needs these links, I will sell them for the price of cooper. -------------- next part -------------- An HTML attachment was scrubbed...
